Size Of the First Watch.

At first the watch was about the
size ola desert plate. 1t had weights
and was used as "pOcket clock"
The earliest known use of the mod
ern name occurs in the record of 1852,
which mentions that Edward VI had
lone larum or watch of iron, the case
being likewise of iron gilt, with two
plummets oflead." The first watch
may readily be supposed to be ofrude
execution. The first great improve
ment-the substitution of springs for
weights-was in 1860. The earliest
springs were not coiled, but only
straight pieces of steel. Early watches
had only one hand, and, being wound
up twice day, they could not be ex-
pected to keep the time nearer than
fifteen or twenty minutes in twelve
hours. The dials were of silver and
brass the cases had no crystals, but
opened at the back and front, and
were four or five inchas in diameter.
A plain watch cost more than 81 500,
and after one was ordered, it took a
year to make it.

Children at Table.

Good Housekeeping.
From the time child is old enough
to sit at the table, teach him the prop
err use of the knife, fork and spoon.
Never allow a child to lean upon the
table; habits such as that will accom-
pany him all through life. He
should be taught to wait patiently
until his elders are served. tits very
important to carefully observe these
minor points. BY proper training in
the beginning parents are saved an
noyance and modification in the fu-
ture. AT this age children should be
dieted as carefully as when they were
infants. By this is not meant that
their diet should consist solely of milk
by no means, but do not fall into the
error so widely prevalent that chill
dren having obtained their teeth are
capable of digesting all manner of
food, This is the chief cause of de-
struction of life in children between
8 and years of age, their stomachs
being totally untitled for the rich food
they are allowed to eat. Potatoes,
meat, rice, oatmeal, brown bread,
ripe fruit and as much milk as they
can drink, is the proper diet for chill
dren of that age.

American Politeness.
Harper's Magazine.

Harpers Magazine.
Lady Mavourneen, who is familiar
with the society and manners of many
countries, and who has been always
accustomed to hear Americans in Eu-
rope described everywhere and with
pungent emphisas as "those Ameri-
cans" was amazed upon coming here
to find universal courtesy. SIN the
street or at the railway station" she
said, "if / ask anybody any question,
l receive the most prompt and polite
reply. Everybody is at my service,
not with much bowling or flourishing,
but heartily and honestly. i have
never seen such universal courtesy"
When she was asked whether she had
observed the absorption Of the street
car passengers in their newspapers,
she smiled and said that she had never
been obliged to stand, because some
one was sure to rise. But in Paris
she said that often as she was passing
to a seat Monster Crapeaud, raising
his hat politely, and saying, warmly,
Pardon pressed by and secured the
seat.
The European sentiment for women
is still somewhat medieval. She is
still the goddess of the troubadours
and the minnesingers, but a goddess
who is treated as the South-sea Island
ers treat their gods, beating them
when they arenot propitious. TO the
American she is Wordworth's "Phan-
tom Of Delight" seen upon nearer
view, and it is idleto prattle about her

Small Change,

New York Times.
Zone of the most noteworthy things
that has come under my observation
lately" said Cashier Shearer, of the
Sub-Treasury, yesterday, lis the de-
mand that is made upon us now for
small bills and coins. We cannot be-
gin to supply one and two dollar bills
as fast as they are called for, and we
are away behind in the matter of
small change-pennies, five cent
pieces, dimes, quarters and half-dol-
lar bits. One of the peculiarities of
the day is the new demand from the
South and Southwest for pennies.
Heretofore the people in that part Of
the country have had no use for one
cent pieces they have rather inclin-
ed to sneer at such money; but the
great growth of liveliness in trade
down there seems to have changed
affairs materially. And all over the
country it would seem as if this de-
mand for small currency is a fair in.
dication that there is a boom in the
retail business. That would explain
the demand for this new abundance
Of small money a demand that the
public really Goes not appreciate,
so great is it."

The Apostles.

Church authorities state that the re-
mains of the apostles of Christ are
now in the following places: Seven
arein Rome, viz Peter, Philip, James,
the Lesser, Jude, Bartholomew, Mat
thias and Simon. Three are in the
kingdom ofNaples- Matthew at Sale
rono, Andrew at Amalfi, and Thomas
at Ortano. One is in Spain-James
the Greater, whose remains are at st.
Jago de Compostella. OF the body
of st. John the Evangelist, the re-
naming one of the u, there is no
knowledge. The evangelists, Mark
and Luke, are also in Italy-the form
er at Venice and the latter at Padua.
st. Paul's remains are also believed
to be in Italy. Peters are, probably,
in the Church of Rome, which iscall-
ed after him, as are also those of ST.
mon and Jude. Those Of James the
Lesser and Phillip are in the Church
of the Holy Apostles; Bartholomew
in the church on the island in the Til
Der called after him; Matthias's are
in Santa Maria Maggiore, under the
great altar of the renowned Basilica.

Five years ago the Prince of Naples,
heir apparent to the throne of Italy,
was strolling through street in
Venice, when his eye was attracted
by the necklace in the show window
of a jewelry shop. The idea at once
struck him to buy it for his mother,
the Queen. But the price was far be-
You'd the capacity of his pocket-money
and though he was destined to be
King Victor Emmanuel III, he was
compelled to ask the jeweler for
credit. The bargain was that the
Prince should buy the necklace pearl
by pearl, according as he could save
enough from his pocket-money. On
leaving the jewelry shop on the first
occasion the Prince carried away with
him five pearls, which he carefully
guarded. 1t was two years before he
was able to buy the whole necklace.
When the Queen afterwards learned
the secret of the purchase, she made
a resolve to wear this charming ex-
hibition of her sons love on all oc-
casions, and hence she wears it every
day and gives it a place even when
she wears her State jewels on great
occasions.

Cure for Piles.

Piles are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some af-
lection of the kidneys or neighboring
organs. AT times, symptoms of indi-
gestion are present., flatulency, un-
easiness of the stomach, etc. A mois-
ture like perspiration, producing a
very disagraeeable itching, after get
ting warm, is a common attendant.

Loves a Sioux Maiden.

A droll request was received the
other day at the Interior Department
from a young man living in Nebras-
ka who wants to marry daughter of
Standing Bear, Sioux chief. He
states who he is, and encloses a pho
tograph of the girl, who is very nice
looking, and was educated at Carlisle.
The young man, however, wishes to
60 and live on the reservation with
his prospective wife and her relation,
and for this reason it was necessary
to obtain the permission of the Interi-
or Department. White men are not
allowed to stay on an Indian reserva-
ton unless they have authority from
the Government to do so, and SO this
young man was obliged to take the
Government into his confidence, and
reveal his love affairs.
The Secretary Of the Interior con-
sidered the matter from its practical
rather than its sentimental side, and
concluded that while he could not
prevent the young man marrying the
girl he could prevent him from going
to live with the old folks, and if he
was anxious to marry the young wo-
man, as he professed to be, he might
scratch around and provide her with
a home. Secretary Lamar will write
letter to the ambitious lover, and,
while not discouraging the ardor Of
his love, will suggest the practical
view of the situation, which seems to
have escaped him. Unless there is
some change in the present plans of
the young man, the paternal bene-
dictions of the Interior Department
will be withheld.

The Old I4dy's Secret.


An old lady of New Hampshire
who celebrated her 80th birthday by
giving an elaborate supper at which
every article, including the cheese
and butter, was made with her own
hands, thus explained the secret Of
her vigor and health: 81 never fret
over things cannot help; l take
nap, and sometimes two, every day
of my life; 1 never take my work to
bed with me; and 1 oil the many
wheels of a busy life by an implicit
faith that there is a brain and a heart
to this great universe, and that 1 can
trust them BOTH"

HOW TO MAKE BREAD.
by AN ABLE COOK.

Four loves of bread of dainty mould,
Loaves worth their weight in yellow gold
Each one for mortals fit to eat
l give in rhyme my one receipt
Six pounds of -four of highest grade,
Clean, pure, white, and careful weighed
Have for the taste, as for feast,
Made soft and warm, cake of yeast
Allowed dissolved in sweetest milk
Not water, no, not even silk
Meier valued is like milk that's pure,
Cold fact this is, of that be sure.
Der night It's mixed in warmest home,
Morning, when come, it's light as foam.
Proceed at once to gently knead,
Respect for which must be your creed.
Each loaf in pans must rise once more
Some say for minutes twenty-four.s
Soon as they're round, the oven right,
Each one must bake till full of light.
Draw out, and lay with tender care
Your shelf upon, and do not dare
Fer loaf to break till they are cold.
And then, if they are not worth gold,
Some fault is yours, not the receipt,
The which no mortal cook can be beat.

Free Trade.

The reduction of internal revenue
and the taking off of revenue stamps
from Proprietary Medicines, no doubt
has largely benefited the consumers,
as well as relieving the burden of
home manufacturers. Especially is
this the case with GREEN'S august
FIolDer and BOSchee'S German Syrup,
as the reduction of thirty-six cents
per dozen, has been added to increase
the size of the bottles containing these
remedies, thereby giving one-fifth
more medicine in the IS cent size.
The august F1o,Cer for Dyspepsia and
Liver Complaint, and the German
Syrup for Cough and Lung troubles,
have perhaps, the largest sale of any
medicines in the world. The advan-
tage of increased size of the bottles
will be greatly appreciated by the
sick and afflicted, in every town and
village in civilized countries. Sample
bottles for 10 cents remain the same
size.

A FINAL SUI MONS.
The Pope to DIR. Observation-Disclosures ce
now Means Recommendation.
New YORK. Nav "a.

NEW YORK, May "a.
Archbishop Corrigan's secretary, Rev. Or.
Mcdonnell, told New York reporter last
night that accompanying the Pope's letter to
the archbishop there was special communi-
cation to DR.. McGlvnn. This was delivered
to the doctor by a special messenger on Sun
day night,
The letter, Mcdonnell says, refers to Dr.
McGlynn's dIsobedlence to Archbishop Corri-
gan and contains a final summons to Rome.
The penalty Tor dsobeying this summons
will be communication by name and with
out further prelimlnaries. DR.. Mcdonnell
said that the Pope determined 10 send the
letter after receiving report from eminent
Roman theologists who had been examining
into the writings of Henry George ever since
last September.
DR.. McGlynn says he has made up his
mind SO say nothing in reply to the Pope's
letter to Archbishop Corrigan.
Rev. DIR. McGlynn SAID today that he had
received no letter from the Pope and he did
not think that he should write reply to the
Pope's letter to Archbishop Corrigan. He
will not go to Rome. McGiynn's friends are
arranging u mass meeting IN Union Square to
express indignation regarding the Pope's re-
cent letter.
